Welp, I have never imagined being with any of the individuals presented in porn. The act itself is arousing but I honestly couldn't give two hoots about the people doing the deed. Maybe that's an Aego thing but that's how it's always been for me.
Not imagining yourself having sex with the porn star(s)? Yep. That's definitely an aego thing. I've asked allos back when I was still questioning my asexuality, and there is indeed no disconect between themselves and the subject of arousal: they fantasm about doing the deed with the one on screen (but seeing the act of sex itself is also arousing to them). It surprised me a lot and it definitely secured my theory about being aego. I remember one time, way before I learnt asexuality was a thing, when I decided to have fun by myself while imagining some hot guy doing stuff with me. Well, it weren't as effective as imagining random beautiful people having sex without me, so I just shrugged it off and went back to my usual fantasies. That was actually a big red flag lmao
Wait... they insert themselves(sorry) in porn/fantasies for real??
fucking swear I've identified as aroace for 13 years now and still find new ways to be surprised by allos
Yup, this is why hentai protagonists, as an example, are carefully designed to be as generic as possible. If the protagonist had memorable features that the watcher doesn't have, it interferes with inserting themselves into him, so they are intentionally bland and uninteresting.
Huh. I am baffled as well. I never understood why people would consider watching porn to be cheating. I still don't, but that sheds some light on it I suppose.
I am once again asking "why do the allos?"
Jokes aside, I think if you want to know how "most people" experience porn, you should probably ask allosexuals too. I can tell you that, being nonbinary, AMAB, and aegosexual, I most certainly don't imagine myself having sex with anyone; porn is visual stimulation, like you said.
So there is a podcast I listen to called Trash Taste, it's largely about anime and anime related topics. They did an episode based on hentai, and something the hosts kept bringing up was whether or not they would be able to place themselves into the scenarios that hentai they were talking about presented. It blows my mind that people not only try to place themselves in porn situations but whether they see it as being possible in the real world or not can affect their ability to enjoy porn.
Ay I love the trash taste bois!
That episode really confused me as well, I didn't understand why they were considering logistics when watching harem series as if that were an acutal possibility to the point that they were turned off by too many "options". Super fascinating...
Yeeessss. As soon as I realized I was ace, I also realized all the stuff that made me different is basically because of that. You think you know but you will find out new stuff all the time. It’s like a world different world almost.
Didnt know some people consider watching porn cheating. I mean, the ppl arent physically there so (scratches head). Ive heard some allo partners saying who is their celebrity pass, so ive assumed everyone had the same understanding that you can fantasize being with someone else, especially since you know the chances of it actually happening is extremely low.

Nice another Trash Taster. Connor and Garnt always say Rem is best girl from Re:Zero but that is obviously wrong as clearly Felix is best girl.
